a ---- WINN ETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1922 SOCIAL ACTIVITIES - ITEMS OF PERSONAL MENTION The Child-Welfare Magazine Features Olive Beaupre Miller HE May issue of The Child- Welfare Magazine, the official organ of the National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teacher As- sociation, contains an address on "Right Reading for Children" by Olive Baupre Miller, in private life Mrs. Harry E. Miller. It is an interesting article on the importance of giving children the right kind of reading at the right time, not from the standpoint of a professor, a librarian or a literary critic, but simply as one mother to other mothers. Mrs. Miller is a Winnetkan, residing at 670 Walden road, and has spent the last four years editing "My Book House," a collection of stories and poems for little children. Tt is evi- dent that The Child-Welfare Maga- zine is trying to give as much publici- ty to this article as they can because in their suggestions for program ma- terial for Parent-Teacher Associations, Mothers Clubs and Study Circles, they are asking that this address by Mrs. Miller be read. gp.
